The SAIL-Bhilai steel mill, which produces high-strength TMT bars with earthquake and corrosion resistant properties, is supplying the bars for use in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail (MAHSR) project, popularly known as the Bullet Train. In December 2022, SAIL-BSP rolled out 4,000 tons of TMT bars with a diameter of 16mm and a length of 9m in the Bar & Rod Mill to meet the specific length requirement of the Bullet Train project, with 3,000 tons supplied for more than 100 projects.
The MAHSR project will be largely operated externally (increased). The works for the MAHSR project include viaducts and bridges, maintenance depots, tunnels, geological structures and stations. Steel and concrete are the main materials used for such construction.
More than 70,000 tons of earthquake resistant TMT bars in 500D grade and various sizes have been supplied by SAIL-BSP for the MAHSR project. This is the third time BRM has supplied earthquake resistant (EQR) TMT bars of this quality to the project. SAIL-BSP's TMT bars are used in the construction of piers and girders that will support the load-bearing capacity of the steel bridges and various other structures of the MAHSR project.
